apTrigga3

real-time transient detection
flexible sample and synth engine
multi-layer patches with complex modulation
Overview
apulSoft apTrigga3 is an audio insert effect plugin to detect trigger events on its input signal which are used to add or replace sounds. It has extensive sample management features, flexible synthesizer layers with multiple envelopes and a modulation section with per sample modulation of most parameters. Input layers process the input audio using the sampler engine and transform apTrigga3 into a percussive sound effects processor.

apTrigga3 features an input filter section with built-in frequency analyzer and configurable filter bands to shape the input signal.

 
The plugin has various playback modes to play layers in sequence, randomly or at the same time. Basic sample edits can be done right inside apTrigga3. Samples can be recorded from the input to quickly capture multi-samples from microphones or synthesizers.

Use apTrigga3 to replace or mix drum sounds on single-instrument channels. Low latency modes are suitable for real-time use while higher latency modes enable sample-accurate transient matching during mixdown.
